Re: [RDD] Red Cart Playing

[wa7skg]

Interestingly, this did not occur on Sunday. The weekend programs air on 
both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, I get the red cart and the [NO 
AUDIO AVAILABLE] thing. On Sunday, the same carts play without issue.


Very strange.

Okay, it's all of my Saturday programs exhibit this behavior. I do not 
see this on any of my weekday programs, just Saturday so far. I'll try 
to watch on Sunday.

Just discovered a second program doing the same thing. This one 
downloads via RDCatch on Friday morning and airs Saturday. Again, 
everything looks good in RDLibrary. The cart in RDAirplay is red and 
says [NO AUDIO AVAILABLE] and the run length shows 00:00. When the 
program started, the green progress bar ran across in about two 
seconds. The countdown/countup timers on either end of the progress 
bar are running normally for the 26 minute program.


Very weird.

Still curious about this one. This is a weekend program. The program 
is manually downloaded from the provider website and imported into 
RDlibrary. Everything in RD library looks good. There is no 
indication looking at the log there is an issue. It doesn't seem to 
affect programming, but looks concerning when looking at the screen.

Watching RDAirplay doing its thing, a new hour started and the 
teaching program cart is displaying red. Under the title it says [NO 
AUDIO AVAILABLE] and no time information is showing. The progress 
bar ran across in the first few seconds. Audio is playing as it 
should. The time progress counters on either end of the progress bar 
are running normally and the countdown timer clock is running normally.


So, why the red cart and the no audio statement? Everything else 
seems normal.

Re: [RDD] RMS normalization?

[ermina]

If you search this list's archives for "LUFS", "R128", or "BS1770" you 
will find that some (including myself) advocate for the use of loudness 
normalization, because that is what makes sense.


Now, it is not implemented in Rivendell, but since it runs on linux, you 
can always use external scripts (in bash or any other language) to 
analyse your cuts and edit the "PLAY_GAIN" value of each cut directly 
with an SQL request. It is less convenient but i wouldn't hold my breath 
about having the feature integrated anytime soon. I don't know why but 
the idea doesn't seem to gain traction in the Rivendell universe. 
Probably a dwarves vs elves thing ;)


Cheers,

Thanks for your response, Fred. I truly appreciate everything you and
the other developers have done to make such a useful and well-thought
out program.

I'm in the midst of importing a few thousand cuts (studio albums, live
recordings, and voice tracks) for a new Rivendell installation for our
local LP station. I've figured out a pretty good workflow, in which I
set levels while placing voice and segue marks, but RMS normalization
would certainly save a good deal of time in the long run, while
producing more consistent results than my quick eyes&ears check.
Ardour/Mixbus has an RMS normalization function which defaults to 0dB
peak normalization when RMS would otherwise introduce clipping.
Perhaps an approach like this would be helpful in RD. It's much easier
to fix occasional errant recordings after the fact than to have to
manually check levels for all.

I know you have plenty of things on your plate, and don't expect this
is the most pressing, but I did want to bring it up.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

I'm new to this list, so if this has been covered in the past (I

has), please forgive me. Does RD support RMS normalization, or only
peak?

Peak only.

There have been discussions about implementing RMS normalization,
but it introduces some thorny questions ?e.g. handling exception
conditions, such as sample clipping.

Re: [RDD] Macro Carts no longer working since upgrade

Hi.  Edit the rd.conf file and enter your username to run the macros.  In Linuxmint you must edit the MySQL configuration as indicated in the Ubuntu installation tutorial for rdcatch to work.  Cheers!El 10 ene. 2021 4:23 p.m., Lorne Tyndale  escribió:Hi,

If it isn't running, to test try restarting it from the shell

rdcatchd &

And see if your macros work from the panel.

If that fixes the issue try restarting your services.

[RDD] Macro Carts no longer working since upgrade

[Richard Gorbutt]

After many years of stable service I finally upgraded a playout system from
2.13 to 3.5 which I did with a nice new shiny SDD and a fresh install on
Linux Mint 19.3. It all went rather well, a few touchscreen fun and
games but overall good.

I copied the /var/snd across and imported the old database which is duly
upgraded to the new schema.

However, none of my MACRO carts work.

For example, one cart is LIVE ASSIST, so has this PM 1! as the command. If
I send that command through RMLSend, it works fine. However, in the Macro
as a button in the Cart panel, it does not.

I do see this in the syslog though "ripcd: received rml: "EX 50003!" from
192.168.1.210

So it seems to be sending an execute command, not following through.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, Richard

[RDD] Tried to create RIvendell Wiki account

[Richard Gorbutt]

Hi all,

Just tried to request a Rivendell Wiki, received this error. (I've xxx'd
out the URL). Wanted to add some Touchscreen fun and also update the Linux
mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 18.04) entry if migrating database.

Thanks
